Caitlin is passionate about making the best use of available finance to achieve the SDGs and co-leads our Education and Employment issue area. She has worked across a number of outcomes-based and broader innovative approaches with a wide variety of partners, including an outcomes-based approach to women’s economic empowerment and a public-private partnership to promote access to kindergarten education in Jordan. Caitlin’s capacity building work includes co-developing frameworks to assess the readiness of ecosystems and service providers to engage in outcomes-based partnerships and designing a course on Development Impact Bonds for a bilateral development partner.

 Caitlin has previously worked for an international development consultancy where she focused on Education Finance, specialising in how public finance can best support the realisation of SDG 4. This built on her experience as an Overseas Development Institute fellow in the Ministry of Education, Ghana, where she was part of the Planning, Budgeting, Monitoring and Evaluation division for two years. She began her career working at the Department for Work and Pensions and holds an MSc from the School of Oriental and African Studies, part of the University of London.
